A Kundli is your Vedic birth chart, calculated from your birth date, time and place to show the planets, houses, signs, nakshatras and timing periods active in your life.
- No sign-up, works on your phone
- Lagna, Moon sign, nakshatra and pada
- North Indian chart and full planet table
- Vimshottari Mahadasha dates, running period marked
To make a free Kundli online you need three things: date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. Enter them in the form at the top of this page and your sidereal Vedic chart is calculated instantly, in your browser: Lagna, Moon sign (rashi), janma nakshatra and pada, all nine grahas with sign, degree, nakshatra and house, a North Indian D1 chart, and your Vimshottari Mahadasha dates. No account, no payment, no report to unlock.
It uses the Lahiri ayanamsa and the mean node, the same conventions as the Swiss Ephemeris engine inside the Vedikks app, and agrees with it to within one arcminute. If a Kundli tool will not tell you its conventions, you cannot know why its chart differs from another. Ours are published, with charts you can recompute.

What your Kundli actually shows
The chart is a map of where the planets sat, from where you were born, at the moment you were born. It gives you a lagna (rising sign), which fixes the houses; a Moon sign and nakshatra, which most Indian traditions treat as more personal than the Sun sign; the placements of the nine grahas; any yogas formed between them; and a dasha timeline dividing your life into planetary periods.
If those words are new, the birth chart explainer and the nakshatra basics guide are the two worth reading first, in that order.
Why birth time matters more than people expect
The lagna advances through the entire zodiac in 24 hours, roughly one degree every four minutes. Move a birth time by 20 minutes and the ascendant moves about five degrees; move it across a sign boundary and every house in the chart shifts with it. Planetary positions barely change in that window, which is why sign-level readings survive an uncertain time and house-level readings do not.
If your birth time is a family estimate rather than a hospital record, say so and read accordingly. What still works when the birth time is unknown covers what to trust, what to discount, and why a guessed time should never be presented as an exact one.
Why two Kundli tools give you different charts
Almost always for one of three reasons, and none of them is a bug. A different ayanamsa moves every sidereal position by up to about a degree, which matters when a planet sits near a sign cusp. Using the true lunar node instead of the mean node moves Rahu and Ketu by up to a degree and a half, enough to change a nakshatra pada. And a wrong UTC offset, common for older births or births abroad, moves the lagna directly.
Vedikks uses Lahiri and the mean node, and takes the UTC offset from your entry rather than from a historical timezone database. That last one is a real limitation, stated plainly on the method page, and it is the first thing to check if a chart looks wrong.
The part that comes after the chart
A static Kundli tells you what is placed where. That is where most free tools stop, and it is exactly where the useful conversation starts. Inside the Vedikks app the same chart adds yogas, South Indian style and transits, and opens Ask the Stars, so you can ask what a placement means for the decision actually in front of you.
Start with your lagna and Moon, then your running mahadasha, then whichever house matches your question. The mahadasha explainer is a good companion, and the AI Vedic astrologer page describes what asking is like.
What this page does not claim
- A Kundli is a calculation, not a prediction. The astronomy is exact; what it means for your life is interpretation.
- Without a reliable birth time, house-based and precise dasha timing readings are not trustworthy, however confident any tool sounds.
- Vedikks reports the mean node for Rahu and Ketu. Tools using the true node will differ, and neither is wrong.
- The in-app Kundli Match feature is not currently enabled. Compatibility content lives on the Kundli matching page as an explainer.

Quick answers
Is this Kundli really free?
Yes. The Kundli on this page needs no account and no payment. Questions about it inside the Vedikks app are free too, with a fair-use cap of 30 questions an hour.
Is my birth data saved?
Not by this page. The chart is calculated on your device and nothing you enter is sent to Vedikks. Only a place name that is not in the built-in city list is looked up on OpenStreetMap. If you later sign in to the app, your birth details are stored so the chart can be recalculated, as set out in the privacy policy.
Can I make a Kundli without a birth time?
You can, and Moon-sign and dasha-level themes still hold, but the lagna and therefore every house becomes unreliable. This guide explains what to keep and what to set aside.
Which ayanamsa does Vedikks use?
Lahiri, also called Chitrapaksha, set at start-up. Rahu is the mean node and Ketu is taken 180 degrees opposite. Both are stated on the method page.
How do I check the chart is right?
Enter one of the published reference cases instead of your own details. REF-B, 15 June 1990 at 05:45 in Mumbai, puts the Sun at Taurus 29 degrees 56 minutes; it sits four arcminutes from a sign boundary, so it is the case most likely to expose a convention difference.
What is the difference between Moon sign and Sun sign in a Kundli?
Vedic astrology gives the Moon sign (rashi) more weight than the Sun sign, and uses the sidereal zodiac, so your Vedic Sun sign is often one sign earlier than the Western one. Why your Vedic sign is different explains the 24-degree gap.
